Chapter 30
boom!
Li Shimin only felt a thunder in his head.

Doom?

Suddenly, the smile on his face froze, Li Shimin slowly suppressed the congratulatory ministers, and glanced at the old minister who reported.

"Above the meeting, seek truth from facts."

"Shangshu of the Household Department, I was very happy to hear your report just now, but you have not reported the shortcomings of various places. I want to hear it."

Hearing this, the old minister in the palace was slightly suffocated, and after a while, he returned to normal.

"His Majesty."

"The planting is over now, and the water diversion irrigation is over. These days are the time when the ears of grain absorb the scorching sun and produce corn."

"Your Majesty is so benevolent that even the heavens sent down auspicious omens. The sun is scorching hot. It is the time when the millet is growing and we are waiting for a good harvest. There are no shortcomings to speak of."

Li Shimin is from an aristocratic family, and he knows little about Nong Sang, but he can tell the truth of what the old minister said, and he is suddenly puzzled.

In this way, the crops are not different, so what does Li Xian mean by the imminent catastrophe?
Glancing at Li Xian, Li Shimin propped up his chin and said slowly.

"Li Xian, I heard that you like going outing."

"You just talk about the growth of this seedling, what's wrong with it?"

[Li Er?Is there a mistake?it's me again? 】

[Can you ignore me when talking about such important military affairs? 】

[Didn't I just come here to hear about government affairs?Why do you want me to speak?Well, I go with the flow too. 】

Li Xian cupped his hands and went out, respectfully.

"Your Majesty, I am a layman and don't know anything about Nong Sang."

Ok?
Li Shimin's teeth itch.

Hello boy!
You obviously have an open heart, but you still cover it up on purpose?

Slightly squinting his eyes, Li Shimin's face was slightly angry.

"Speak what you want, but it's okay to say it."

Originally thought that Li Er could let him go, but he never thought that he would pursue him closely.

There is no avoiding it, Li Xian simply cupped his hands and said.

"Your Majesty, I feel that the weather is really hot, and it is better to dredge the ditches and dams."

As soon as the words fell, the veteran in the palace laughed.

Walking towards Li Xian slowly, a big callused hand rested on Li Xian's shoulder.

"Li Xian, you are just a child of an aristocratic family who stays behind closed doors, how do you know about this farming and mulberry festival?"

"It's true that it's hot this year, but what does it have to do with dredging the ditches?"

"At the moment, the seedlings only need to absorb the sunlight and fill up the grains. They will need to irrigate after the autumn harvest. What's the use of dredging the ditches in such hot weather? The people will be busy with the autumn harvest after half a month's rest, and now they are exhausting their energy , when the autumn harvest comes, how do you get food from the rain?"

He patted his shoulder with his palm, and the old minister's teasing eyes met Li Xian's eyes, and his raised voice slowly rang out in the hall.

"You are still young, there are still many things you don't know, you should read more books!"

"Don't pretend to understand if you don't understand, it's just a laughingstock!"

After the words fell, Chaotang laughed loudly.

Many smiling courtiers pointed at Li Xian.

"Look at this kid, the donkey's head is wrong with the horse's mouth, he can't even figure out what is needed for the autumn harvest, and he is still here pretending to understand."

"It's not that I want to show off in front of His Majesty, but I never thought that this slapstick was in the wrong place, hahaha."

"Old Li, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Nongsang for generations, before he took this official position, he sat at home and knew how many inches the seedlings have grown. What does he know as a brat? How dare he stand in the court and criticize him, it's really ridiculous."

Li Jing heard the noisy words behind the crowd, his cheeks flushed, his head hung down, and he clenched his fists tightly, feeling extremely ashamed.

If it hadn't been for His Majesty's instructions before leaving, Li Jing would never have brought Li Xian into the court in front of civil and military officials.

Apart from other things, Li Jing knew this kid best, he was ignorant and had no common sense.

This time it was a joke!
After Li Xian spoke, he didn't explain much. Seeing the figure sitting on the dragon, his face was serious and thoughtful.

"His Majesty."

"My minister just said something casually, and I hope His Majesty will forgive me."

Li Shimin waved his arms, suppressed the hall and whispered, and said loudly.

"I said before, if you speak freely, how can you be guilty?"

Li Shimin was able to stand on his side and say a few words for him, which surprised Li Xian.

Slightly raised his eyes to catch a glance at Li Shimin, then retreated into the crowd without saying a word.

[Li Er, Li Er, you are right this time! 】

[To be honest, I, Li Xian, am not alarmist, but that Datang is bound to suffer! 】

[The weather is changing rapidly. In late July, there will be heavy rain during the harvest. The entire Henan Road, Guannei Road, and half of the Hebei Road and East Road will be flooded. Let alone the harvest, the lives of those people are in danger! 】

[At this time, if we build dams and build waterways, how many innocent people will be killed!Laugh, let them laugh, I don't know if these people who read the jokes at that time can still laugh? 】

boom.

Li Shimin only felt a sudden explosion in his head.

flood?

The scope of influence is actually more than half of the north?
Unknowingly, the big hand supporting the dragon seat was tightened suddenly, and a gloomy look appeared on Li Shimin's cheek.

Thinking back to the time of Zhenguan, there were floods, and the tax reduction and exemption escaped the catastrophe.

However, in the second year of Zhenguan, floods, droughts, and locust plagues followed one after another. The entire Northeast was starving and dying.

Looking back now, that scene is still vivid.

It is imperative to plan ahead!
Li Shimin propped up his face, glanced at the officials who were still joking and talking, and squeezed out his lips with a deep voice.

"Is it funny?"

The majestic voice resounded, and the atmosphere of the entire court was suddenly suppressed. The expressions of the courtiers who were still joking changed drastically, and they immediately fell silent.

The Hubu Shangshu who was standing with his hands behind his back in the hall was stunned, and looked at Li Shimin in astonishment.

Snapped.

Patting the dragon chair lightly, Li Shimin stood up to support the case, glanced at the surprised-looking ministers with tiger eyes, and his face became gloomy again.

Brushing off the dragon sleeve, pointing at Li Xian from afar, he spoke slowly.

"Prepare for a rainy day, be prepared for danger in times of peace, is what Li Xian said wrong?"

Sweeping his fingers across the dull officials, Li Shimin's words became a little more serious.

"The grand sight of Zhenguan has just appeared, how many of you officials have let go of your previous enthusiasm, and started holding hands, imagining the beautiful vision of all nations coming to court?"

"Agriculture and mulberry are the foundation of a country, and food is the foundation of a rich country and a strong army. Isn't it time to sit back and enjoy the benefits now that the harvest is imminent?"

"Have you forgotten all the natural disasters and man-made disasters since the founding of the Tang Dynasty? Have you forgotten the miserable conditions of the common people who were hungry, naked, and wandering around?"

wow.

After waving his arms, Li Shimin stood in the hall with his hands behind his back.

"In his position, seek his position!"

"There are no political affairs to manage in the fields, so we look for roads and ditches, and build convenient roads for the benefit of the people! Transform agricultural and mulberry utensils!"

These words made the atmosphere of the whole court extremely dignified. All the courtiers dared not take a breath, and lowered their heads to listen to Li Shimin's lecture.

Li Shimin glanced at Li Xian, who was bowing his head and saying nothing intentionally or unintentionally, and said in a deep voice.

"There is not a single boy in the civil and military courts who has just entered the court with a broad mind. It really makes me sad."

"Preach the decree! Build water conservancy and build dams to prevent future troubles."

"Inventory warehouses, screen dangerous villages in various places, and the household department will start dispatching!"
